How long do I have to wait to return to Thailand on a tourist visa after an educational visa?
Hi! Does anyone have experience returning to Thailand after completing an educational visa? How long would I have to wait before returning to Thailand on a normal tourist visa?
Answer summary
Returning to Thailand after an educational visa may involve some scrutiny from immigration officials. One individual shared their experience of returning about 5 months after completing their educational visa, noting that they were questioned by immigration officers and required to show proof of funds amounting to 20,000 baht.

In mid 2022 I returned about 5 months after I left after having an ED. I was pulled out of line, asked many questions by 3 immigration officers, and asked to show proof of 20,000 baht.

Interesting. It seems unusual for them to interrogate you after 5 months of being out of the country, unless you did some other stupid shit you're not mentioning.Graham ******
